    well if you upgrade to the newer hardware at the same time you are gaining quite a bit of strength in the sponson itself. The 05+ sponsons use much larger hardware.

    I found the 04`s to flex and pop the cover up and catch grass and crap...
    the 05`s are stronger, shaped differently...

    If you lower them to the lowest postion possible while still being above the bottow hull line there is a performance gain. I know guys do this a lot. I'm not sure if new holes are necessary or not.

    no, actually I believe that guys claim they prefer the lowered stock sponsons rather then the aftermarket ones.. I think this is what I will end up doing.

    The most obvious advantage is getting rid of the horrible looking 04 sponsons.
